This fish is not a common fish, but a mackerel with extremely unusual flesh, and I will not forget it for a long time after I got the experience of coming to the beach today.

Mackerel is not an ordinary fish, and its flesh is even better than grouper and tuna!

Harvesting a big fish with excellent meat quality naturally makes people particularly happy, but at the same time, there is some distress, most of the fish meat can only be dried because it cannot be preserved.

I have to say that this is a very sad thing, if you can keep the fish meat for two to three days, the fish can be completely solved in a fresh state.

Dried fish is also a way to preserve it, but it is not always as tempting as fresh meat.

The first two or three years on the island was when I needed food the most, and the dried fish at that time was extremely unpalatable because of the lack of peanut oil, but I had to eat it because there was not enough food!

Now peanut oil has few opportunities to eat dried fish, all kinds of food is enough, even if the dried fish is kept at home, it is rarely taken out to eat, the result is that it is not eaten for a long time and moldy, and finally discarded in vain.

So in most cases, I prefer to keep fresh ingredients for two more days instead of drying them dry.

This made me want to make a small change all the time, but unfortunately I never found a good way until I just ......

Just now, a new idea suddenly appeared in my mind, I can dig a kiln!

A refrigerator is impossible, so you can dig a cellar, which functions like a refrigerator and has a cooling effect.

Although it is 108,000 miles short of the capacity of a refrigerator, it can also delay the storage time of various items.

A successful cellar can keep temperatures low almost all year round, and the food stored in it can effectively inhibit its own respiration and reduce the decomposition of organic matter.

Winter is better, for example, fish can be stored at room temperature for two to three days, salted or cooked food for three to five days will not be a big problem, the trouble is mainly concentrated in the time period of higher temperature!

Especially in the hot summer, the contrast is even more obvious, and the temperature inside a good cellar may be ten or even twenty degrees lower than outside, and the effect is staggering.

......

You can imagine the contrast between the temperature in the open air reaching 40 degrees Celsius in the summer and the cellar being 20 degrees or less, similar to the effect of a refrigerator!

All kinds of fruits, vegetables, and meat kept in clay pots can also be preserved for a longer time, and if there is a cellar, it is not an exaggeration to say that the cured meat should be kept in the cellar for two months longer than in the house outside, and it may be at least two months.

It's a good idea to escape the heat once in a while when it's too hot, and now I think about how nice it would be if there was a cellar when the crocodiles were hunted, and the fish in that large clay tank wouldn't stink and go to waste, even if there was no shortage of meat at the time!

And the cellar also has a function that it thinks is quite good, if you encounter a destructive typhoon that is difficult to resist in an emergency, you can run to the cellar in advance.

In the event of severe damage to the house during a typhoon, the cellar can also be used as a second residence temporarily, as long as there is enough air inside, it is not a problem to live in it for a short time.

I had never thought about the cellar before, because it was too far away for me to have the energy to finish a cellar.

It's different now, and occasionally there will be plenty of time to get bored, so it also indirectly proves that you can complete some tasks that you can't do before with plenty of time in the future!

It can be said that the benefits of the cellar are many, like a fishing trap, which has not been such a train of thought for several years, but once it is completed and put into use, it is found that its ability is beyond imagination.

I believe that a successful cellar has similar capabilities, but one of the major difficulties is that the amount of work involved in excavating a cellar is very large......

It's not as simple as digging a hole, a series of processes and having to dig out a huge space with a shovel is probably more difficult than building a room and digging a fishing trap.

So the idea is one thing, and you have to verify its gains and losses in your mind a few more times, and you can't go back after you start work!

However, the hesitation did not last long, and after thinking about the benefits of the cellar, he fell and went straight to the next step.

......

After determining the needs and feasibility of the cellar, the next step is not to find a place to start digging, but to prepare for it.

After all, it's a huge project, and I don't want to spend a lot of time and energy to make a failure.

With my character, if I give too much and don't get a reasonable return, this kind of thing will only happen once, and I will never be interested in doing it again!

As a result, there is only one chance to dig the cellar, and I have to guarantee a success......

The first step is to draw a few sketches, draw out several configurations in your mind and choose the best solution, just like before the start of shipbuilding.

There are many different types of cellar structures, some of which resemble deep wells that go straight up and down, digging a space horizontally at the bottom of a few meters deep.

Some are similar to caves, while others dig out caves and then dig down to a few meters below the ground, and then expand the space.

There are all kinds of styles, a variety of schemes have their own focus, and the effect is also extremely different, some are better than nothing, and some have excellent performance!

In this environment, the cellars are definitely the first to be eliminated, because the environment on the island is prone to heavy rain and heavy rainfall, and it is easy to accumulate water or even fill up.

Second, it is easy to soak in water to form stagnant water, if the climate is dry and rainy, this solution is very suitable, but not here, the long-term humid environment will only make the items stored in it rot faster!

The second is the configuration of the cave, which is relatively simple and simple, similar to the cave of the Northwest Plateau, and the amount of work is much less than that of other types.

There is also a little practicality, but unfortunately it is not obvious, when the temperature rises in summer, the air inside is in direct contact with the outside, even if it can cool down, the effect is very limited!

If it was only three or five degrees cooler, it would be the same as in the current room, so it was not surprisingly excluded.

There is only the third and most complicated one that I know, which I reject from the heart, and the third is the most extensive and troublesome!

After all, the purpose of digging the cellar is to cool down, and the more you pay, the more you want to get more returns, and if you want to get better returns, you will naturally pay more.

......

Thinking of its practicality, I finally compromised, after all, this time is relatively leisurely, and if you don't start a big project, you may also waste your time.

Rather than being wasted, it is better to do something and build a cellar, which can keep the grain for a longer period of time, and indirectly increase the production of food.

You must know that every year, due to improper storage and conditions, a lot of food is wasted, such as some meat, sweet potatoes and potatoes, carrots, etc.

If it weren't for the fact that about one-fifth of them were dried goods, there might be more rotten, and sometimes it was distressing to think about it, but each one was my own hard work......

With the cellar, food losses can be reduced by at least half on the current basis, provided that it can achieve the expected capacity.

Without too much hesitation and entanglement, I started work, but there is one more crucial step before starting --- choosing a location!

A good location is very important, its quality directly determines success or failure, if you don't choose the right one, the hard-to-dig cellar will be unusable due to dampness and stagnant water, and in the end it will only waste a lot of time and energy.

In addition to the stagnant water, I also pay attention to the problem of soil, and I don't want to dig it for a long time and drop the dirt like the original cave.

Of course, there are many points that need to be paid attention to, and there are many points that cannot be noticed, a bit similar to half by choice, half by luck, if you are unlucky, it is useless to choose anywhere!

And its location should not be too far from the house, if it can be within a hundred meters of the best results.

Such a distance is not only very convenient for daily use, but also will not have major problems in management, and can be known at the first time in case of accidents.

After all, after having a cellar, you will often store things and take out things, if it is too far away, you really don't want to toss back and forth, if it is too troublesome, it is better not to have it!

Because of the particularity of the cellar, there are not many reasonable choices for the location, in addition to the factors of the terrain, we should try to choose a place with better ventilation, preferably dry and sunny.

If it is in a sunken part, it will be very dangerous if the air inside is not well ventilated, and in severe cases, it can even be life-threatening.

......

The vacant land for the building is in the middle of the island, and the height of more than 50 meters is not bad, and the lower the location, the higher the possibility of dampness!

At the same time, the back of the house is against the mountain, a hillside with a height of tens of meters, and if you are lucky, you can dig a cellar directly behind the house.

This is the best result, you can walk back and forth in less than a minute, and you can know if there is any wind and grass in the first place!

But in my previous experience of often failing in the past, I did not hang myself from one tree, but after choosing the first position, I was ready to pick two more positions.

It's better to have more options, and if one of them doesn't fit, you can immediately go back and choose the next one until you find the right one.

The first choice was determined almost instantly, it was about 20 meters behind the level of the house, the location here is the closest, and the material of the soil on the surface is relatively dry, there is really no reason not to choose it!

The second is also the hillside behind the house, but it is one level higher than the ground on which the house is located, about 10 meters above the ground, and it was chosen because the soil is drier and more ventilated.

The third is on the side of the intersection from the outside of the flat land to the crop field, the terrain is a bit close to the brick kiln, and it is at the edge of the clearing, and the reason for choosing it is a bit of a mistake, after all, there is no other better location.
